We believe that development deserves a fresh, bold, and cohesive approach that breaks down silos and promotes integration. We are committed to actively engaging beneficiary communities, local players and voices from unconventional spaces. We account for dynamics across sectors and spheres of influence that have great impact on the outcomes of a given initiative. We look at interventions and change creation through a community-centered lens of scale and sustainability and re-shape the way development should work. Our guiding philosophy is that programs should efficiently and effectively move away from outsider-driven, unsustainable models, and be defined by insider-owned success stories. With that end in mind, we believe that initiatives must always account for: • Community-based insights and ownership • Seamless and strategic integration of civil, public and private sector players • Measurement and evaluation tools throughout the life cycle of the work • Advocacy at local, national, regional and international levels • Stakeholder support from in-community and in-country participants • Networks to create ownership of initiatives within communities • Proactive plans for an appropriate and sustainable exit strategy
